Levelling the Fashion Industry Playing Field
At Common Objective (CO) we believe that the individuals and businesses that put the time and effort into operating in an ethical and sustainable way should be rewarded in tangible ways that make a difference to them.
For too long businesses seeking to operate more responsibly have been subject to higher costs, lower margins, certifications and other fees, and have found it more difficult to compete on price - often selling less as a result.
That’s why the mission behind Common Objective is to support and reward sustainability - turning it from a cost to an opportunity. CO Training Credits are our next step on this mission.
What are CO Training Credits?
We have developed and launched over 300 resources and tools for our community, which get thousands of views every month. We believe that each view means something. Each person who reads CO content and accesses CO tools is better equipped to work in a more sustainable way, and better placed to make responsible decisions. But this upskilling takes time - and we believe that time should be rewarded.
CO Training Credits group CO content together into email training courses, at the end of which participants gain a CO Credit. A CO Training Credit badge will be displayed on their individual profile and the business or businesses they are associated with on CO, as well as boosting the search ranking of any business they are linked with.

CO Training Credit Partners
We are interested in working with partner organisations and experts to develop CO Training Credits in specific areas of focus, to meet the needs of defined target groups or geographical locations. If you would like to collaborate with CO on a Training Credit please get in touch.
